"Diggy wasn't a bad rapper, but he wasn't a good one either." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 This an textbook example of a "complimenting you while slapping your face" comment.
@@toneallday5468 how is he a weirdo he started a whole food truck for homeless people they eat for free .yall say anything from the couch .that young brother is doing
And Lil Romeo also no one isn't checking for their music cause they didn't have to grow up in the struggle territory. They all grow up with silver spoons in their mouths.
@@IllDawgable facts! I grew up in the 80s and 90s, and the group as a whole was overrated. They had the best opportunities at their feet, respectfully, and fumbled the bag!!!
I think one of the main problems was the believability factor. I heard him freestyle on the NY State Of Mind" beat and he's in the hood (like anyone was going to buy that). He literally said "Grew up in the 90s/There wasn't no love and 🥷🏾 was grimey"...... Come on bro, we all saw you grow up in Run's house.🤦🏾♂️
He came up during the "fiend" era of music, where everyone wanted to sound like Lil Wayne and talk about drug use. I remember Future taking off somewhere around that time, and then his style became the standard. There just wasn't much demand for coherent, pretty boy rappers by the time he started to mature. However, he had a respectable short run. And in an alternate universe where Diggy comes out in an era alongside Bow Wow, B2K and Breezy; he might've been the first Drake. And the fact that he could dance means he could've even taken a lane similar to Breezy and done very well.
Great take! Diggy wasn't bad lyrically, of course people will say otherwise and probably never gave him a chance because he grew up on TV. But as a lyricist myself, I was actually impressed back then. Singles were cheesy but he was a kid at the time. Hearing him years later he actually got better and I think could have been more accepted as a young adult if he got in the early Drake pocket (melodic rappity love songs).
how did you forget that he barred up j cole for making up stories about his sister? sure hes a nepo baby that didnt progress but he went at coles neck EARLY.
False. At the time he got into rap, drake was the new hot artist and was the opposite of thug & street ish. Doggy just wasn't that good fam, no conspiracy about it. Just mid
@@ks_wallace2324drake has always pushed being hard and a thug when it was convenient for him. He’s also one of the fakest artists in rap history so the original comment was correct they don’t push real they love fake images though
When it comes to the child following the parent’s footsteps, somebody is gonna be greater than the other. In this case, Diggy was good, but Run was great. Dell Curry was good, but Steph Curry is great.
Diggy’s rapper era happened during my high school years and he’s a two years younger than me. He had some bops and he was a decent rapper but that’s it
@@hoodhippie7117kid robot is still around. It's funny people forgot about em and started copping bearbricks. People used to collect the kid robot figures. The airmax is still an if you know you know shoe among us enthusiasts.
He grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth. I like Diggy but the audience wasn't feeling him. He didn't have to struggle like his father did. So no disrespect to him,Jaden Smith and Lil Romeo they're not their fathers. Also no one isn't checking for their music cause they never had to struggle to get their foot in the doors.
"Diggy" & "T.I." son "King" facing the same thing....they both trying to find their place in music but unfortunately all we see "Rev Run" & "TIP". Also "Diggy" trying to feed a thickle "Gen Z" monster....meaning they check for you today but next week they move on to the next hotest artist.....We talking a generation that it's attention span is shorter than marching ants on food in the garbage..... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I see what you’re getting at, but it’s slightly off. We’re the same age, and at that time a lot of Black kids and teens were into a certain group Black teen sensations at the time. But most of my peers in high school was into more mature music. They didn’t take clean cut dudes like Diggy seriously. And that was during the blog era, so while there were a lot of new artists coming out, it was nothing compared to this mega microwave era.
Diggy had talent as an Emcee the main issue with him from my vantage point is that he was trying to sound like Drake. Plus I think everything happened to fast for him.
I appreciate the channel but I think this one kinda missed the mark. It wasn't about "nepotism"! It was about an industry that was designed to promote privatized prison! Diggy was a dope artist who made some "mature and grown" hip hop music but came out around the same time as a chief keef and a lil Durk, etc..... when the "agenda" leaned more towards promoting music to get the youth locked up therefore making a profit for privatized prison! Yeah It was nepotism that got him on but he did have the talent to hold his own! But that wasn't where the industry wanted the youth to go! Wake up! 👁️👁️
I didn't even know this little trust fund kid even had A album let alone 2. The only reason I even heard him rap at all was because he had a feature Verse on someone's music video that was shoehorned in during a commercial break of "Grownish" .yeah, clearly hip hop ain't for him.
I mean whether one thought he was any good or not, he was definitely visible at the time. This was during the blog era, so his freestyles did pick up some steam. I was a kid (his same age), so he was on my radar, but even I was in the minority with that. He had a couple of mixtapes, one with Premiere, and the first album. He did collaborate and tour with a lot of other teen and child acts back then, but everyone grew up by that second album. I forgot that even existed and didn’t realize it was considered an album.
its as simple as this no legendary rap kids were successful as rappers. You could give them opportunity by putting them on but you can't give them passion for making music, creativity, originality, talent authenticity, flow cadence, and delivery. That's why no legendary rapper kids were successful in rap. Name one legendary rapper kid that had a successful career in rap.
Jermaine Dupri wasn’t a rappers son. But LA Reid was his dad. He’s done pretty well. And sure he’s not making rap now, but lil Romeo did ok(even if he was kinda a discount bow wow)
@@johnmartin298 LA Reid isn't JD's dad lol JD's dad is Michael Mauldin, he's in the industry - he actually created the Scream Tour and worked for Columbia.
Instead of studying his dads career he focused on becoming a lunch table rapper but i can't front, i had hope he would become a bigger name in music especially considering tht he's a year older than me and I already looked up to RunDMC before knowing who Diggy was
I mean, can u blame him for putting rap down? If your debut is 20,000 copies sold, with the sophomore album somehow doing worse; yeah, it might be time to cut your losses. It’s just sad, because I genuinely liked his stuff growing up, but yeah, when you come from that kinda stick, especially in rap?! That’s an uphill battle very few can win. Like, has that ever even been done before?
Diggy got some hits but nobody was checking for it hes a good actor tho i remember when copy n paste came out i was in highschool when that came out and that Jeremiah song
IMO where Diggy went wrong is he tried to be a “rapper rapper” …he thought he had and really wanted to have “bars”…wrong move ….Diggy should have taken the Drake route …got a team and worked on making hits …with catchy 1 liners!!
Be did take the drake route, it just didn't work. His first big records were "Cope & Paste" & "4 letter word". The latter, he's singing the entire song. The former, he's using the hybrid rap & sing formula that was blowing up at that time. He just doesn't have "it". Ppl simply didn't gravitate towards him
@@DERRTYCHYBO some artists just want to have one song that will live forever in the underground . if diggy doesnt rap again he has 'Diggy - Oh Yeah! feat. Pharrell & Lupe Fiasco'
Bruh im confused how in the hell did u and ali talks music RUclips both drop a video of Diggy simmons??? Who copy paste who?? Lol get it Diggys song but nah fr tho
I think you’re wrong about being from queens. Run was on the later end of his career by the time he was born. Already rich and famous, no way he was living in queens. Maybe Atlanta or New Jersey (a lot of rappers from NYC move to New jersey)
Diggy wasn't a bad rapper, but he wasn't a good one either. Average lunch hall bars & flow.
Good point
"Diggy wasn't a bad rapper, but he wasn't a good one either."
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This an textbook example of a "complimenting you while slapping your face" comment.
Nah..its a good way of saying someone was just average....you just decided to take the negative part of the comment and run with it @@d1inonly
He was better than JoJo that's for sure
@@NotYourUncleRuckus Leave JoJo alone. Let his career rest in peace. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Most privilege kids won't get received well in rap, if your skills isn't extraordinary
@toneallday5468 I disagree Because Jaden Smith had a number one hit in Icon
@@darnellwilliams8783 He have a weirdo market. Hes not hip hop. Diggy went that hip hop lane
@@toneallday5468 how is he a weirdo he started a whole food truck for homeless people they eat for free .yall say anything from the couch .that young brother is doing
True . I think T.I. son Domani seems to be carving out a lane for himself. And he can actually rap.
Next up…Jaden Smith!🤣 Just do a rap nepo-baby series!
And Lil Romeo also no one isn't checking for their music cause they didn't have to grow up in the struggle territory. They all grow up with silver spoons in their mouths.
Jane smith actually has some bangers and his icon album actually was very good.
I’ll never forget a livestream comment from somewhere that said “in an alternate universe, Diggy Simmons is Billboard’s top Artist of the Year” 😂
At least Diggy had a better career than JoJo 😂😂#IYKYK
Wayyyy better lol
😂😂😂 Poor JoJo. He really thought he had talent as a rapper because his daddy’s a legend. 😂😂😂
If we're being honest his dad was overrated too

You caught that too huh? 😂 I knew I wasn't trippin

I said the same thing ! Like wait did something happen this week with him? Lol
Bruh I just seen another vid on him for Ali talks music literally after I finished this video u ain’t lying 😂

Wait, first Ali now you? Is it this dude birthday?

So what? That makes him less wack or more skilled?
He is extremely talented. People just wanted stereotypical thug shit. He was himself. The industry rarely pushes authenticity.

That song he was a featured in with Mindless Behavior he did good when 106 and park was still on
King Combs next surely
Diggy is wayyy better than Jojo. Do it like you was a banger.

No such as nepotism in rap you either go or you ain’t diggy had a hit song
Did you do a vid on Canibus yet?
Diggy was Dope in my opinion, he just didn't have enough hunger and drive to push a higher output of music.
Diggy a actress now
Actress or actor?
Does this mean we're never getting that All City Chess Club album? 🧐
You should do a video on Domani as he is Evolving more
Diggy was decent at rap I think he just jumped in too early and never grew as a artist or a lyricist then eventually got over looked
Diggy got some hits but nobody was checking for it hes a good actor tho i remember when copy n paste came out i was in highschool when that came out and that Jeremiah song
Stick to Grownish, Diggy. You should do the group Illegal next
I've been telling him that for months. Him and the other dude that do this.
